I assumed the blog would be mostly hibernating during the winter. But as I was skiing at the gorgeous June Mountain yesterday, I realized I was “immersing on” frozen water. Why not? (reminder, I get to make up the rules) I was singing to the snow, calling in the tree spirits* (Humpwey Malkikuna) and mountain spirits (Apukuna), and Mother of the Waters (Mama Cocha), and doing sound healing on the chairlift. So much gratitude for this day, Urpichay Sonqo!

The snow was perfect, deep, groomed and squeeky, and very few people. It doesn’t get any better than yesterday. I’ve also immersed recently at Keough’s Hot Springs and boogey boarded a couple times over Thanksgiving at Stinson Beach. I’ll just count one of those ocean immersions. Oh it was spectacular. I had to wait for times when the waves were small, somewhat different than when I was young.

So that’s 3 additional immersions. Maybe I’ll snowshoe today up Bishop Creek. 🙂

Tally: 33 + 3 = 36
